Amazing from start to finish!

We hired Simon as a wedding DJ and host, and it was the best decision we made. He made sure we were fed and hydrated throughout the day. He checked in on us on how were doing and updated us on time frames. He had the full day under control, made it run seamlessly and did it with such welcoming and warm vibes. We knew our wedding was in good hands and our guests loved him. He had all our ceremony/day music under control and was very good at judging what was needed for the evening music too and our guest song requests was no problem at all. His communication pre/on/post wedding was amazing and for anyone wondering whether to or not, hire him. He is super caring, pro-active with potential ideas we hadn't thought of and just a genuine nice bloke that wants you to have the best day of your lives. Which we absolutely did!

Simon, you're simply the best!!!

We always knew our wedding day would be the best day of our lives, but having Simon as our wedding host & DJ made the day even more incredible than we imagined! The vibes were super high from start to finish, with every part of the day running smoothly thanks to him. Simon took control from the very start and ensured a completely stress free day for us, meaning we got to enjoy every single second of our special day, and that our guests had the best day ever. The amount of complements we received from our guests about Simon were simply too many to count - THE nicest guy you could meet, who knows exactly how to make your wedding an unforgettable day & night!!

Absolutely fantastic!

We honestly cannot put into words how incredible Simon was as our wedding host and DJ.

From the very first meeting, Simon felt like a true friend rather than just a supplier. Simon’s knowledge of all things wedding is second to none, but what really stood out to Paul and I was how down to earth, approachable and genuinely lovely he is. We loved catching up with him in the run up to the wedding and from day one we knew we were in safe hands.

On the day itself, Simon was nothing short of amazing. We had him as our wonderful wedding host during the day and DJ in the evening, and he absolutely smashed both roles! Simon was punctual, calm, and brought the perfect energy. He was hyping me up in the bridal suite, but also knowing exactly when I needed a quiet moment or a pep talk when the nerves kicked in.

Simon has an incredible talent for knowing what needs doing without a word being said and more than likely having already done it before anyone else even noticed! From helping with buttonholes, carrying dresses, escorting family members where they needed to be, to keeping everything running perfectly to time he was everywhere and nowhere at the same time. He somehow managed to move 100 miles an hour while remaining almost invisible behind the scenes, working absolute magic.

The party started the second we entered the wedding breakfast. Simon had guests up dancing and twirling napkins before we’d even sat down and it genuinely never stopped from there! We’ve never been to a wedding where the dance floor was packed from start to finish and even had everybody shouting for “one more song!” at the end of the night! The atmosphere he created was unreal.

One of the most comforting things was how Simon would regularly glance over at us, just checking in with a look throughout the day. It meant the world knowing he was there for us no matter what, and because of him the entire day ran so smoothly and felt completely effortless. Our wedding day was utter perfection and Simon was a huge reason why.

We couldn’t be more grateful for everything Simon did and for being such a crucial part of our big day. The most lovely, fun, talented, professional and all round epic person! You absolutely need Simon at your wedding ❤️

Thank you endlessly for everything.

Exceptional service

I cannot recommend Simon highly enough. Although I, unfortunately, didn’t go ahead with my wedding due to a relationship breakdown, he still went above and beyond for me during an incredibly difficult time.

Despite knowing the wedding was no longer going ahead, Simon handled everything with such sensitivity, professionalism, and genuine care. He assisted me in communicating with other suppliers, helping to sort out details I honestly didn’t have the emotional energy to manage myself. His kindness and support made an overwhelming situation so much easier, and I’m truly grateful for everything he did.

If you are looking for someone who is not only exceptional at what he does but is also compassionate, reliable, and truly dedicated to his clients, then book him. I have no doubt he would make any couple’s wedding journey seamless and special. Even though my own plans changed, I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone.

5 stars all round ✨

What can we say about Simon! Professionalism? Unmatched the entire day was dealt with seamlessly and all of our guests had something lovely to say about Simon. Whether it was his relaxing beaming nature that set our bridal party at ease or his attentiveness that meant every need throughout our day was met! Hungry? He’s arranged for canapés to follow you round. Ten minutes to yourself? No problem Simon knows a place. Looking for your vows? No your not because Simon’s for them safe and secure and ready when you need them. Not to mention the way he managed to hype up our very intimate wedding party for our entrance and speeches. The entire day ran perfectly - thank you Simon!

Couldn't have been happier!

I literally could not recommend Simon enough. From the beginning of planning our wedding he was an absolute star, and was always on hand to help with any questions we had. He was extremely efficient at getting back to us, and we felt so much more secure knowing he was there to help. On the day, he was on top of absolutely everything, and guided us through every step of the way. The reception was also fantastic, and he took every suggestion we had music-wise into account, whilst also showing his expertise at the same time. We can't thank Simon enough for making our special day quite literally perfect.

Simple the best!

Simon was everything we needed and more, providing music from the start of our wedding right through to the final song. In the lead-up he was amazing, answering endless questions and offering suggestions. On the day he went above and beyond: helping my unwell husband with tissues and medicine, holding my hand when I was nervous before the aisle and grabbing me water. He got to know our wedding party, delighted my 13-year-old niece with requests, and filled the evening with perfect music. I couldn’t stop smiling the entire night because no way could the next song be better, but guess what, it was! Simon delivered beyond expectation - DJ Simon, you’re the best!

Booking Simon was one of our best wedding decisions! 👏

Simon truly made our wedding day a dream come true! We booked him for both wedding planning and DJ, and it was without a doubt one of the best decisions we made. From start to finish, he coordinated everything seamlessly, taking so much pressure off us in the lead-up and on the day itself.

In the evening, he gave the most incredible DJ performance. He kept the dance floor full all night and the atmosphere was honestly unbelievable. One of the most special moments of the evening was actually our wedding exit, which Simon entirely curated. We were surrounded by all of our friends and family for the last song before being waved out of the barn, we’ve never felt so much love in one moment. Makes me emotional just thinking about it!

We honestly couldn’t thank him enough and would recommend him wholeheartedly. Thank you so much Simon — we only wish we could do it all again! 🥰❤️

Mr & Mrs Croskell



Wow, We chose Simon to be our wedding host/dj for our wedding, This is honestly the best decision we made. Start to finish he made our day absolutely amazing, from coming to the church to do all our songs to hosting the whole day and DJing the night away. He checked in with me throughout our whole day and made sure everything was ok… He can even glue wedding shoes back together 🤣 (thank you for fixing my shoe) 😂
My son wanted to welcome us in to our wedding reception and Simon made sure that happened!! He gave him the microphone and helped everyone bring the upbeat vibe to make sure my son felt comfortable and excited to be doing his big entrance speech for his mum and dad. My whole family can’t stop speaking about how amazing that was & how great Simon was with helping him. The communication from the day we booked Simon was perfect, he always responded to our questions straight away and always gave us the little helpful & positive comments we needed. Everyone needs Simon at their wedding, I can hand on heart say HE IS THE BEST! All our wedding guests have all commented on how brilliant he was for the whole day & night. He’s definitely brings the best vibe!! Thank you again so so much for everything, I will defiantly be recommending you. Thank you so much again.

The best wedding host & DJ

Simon was our host and DJ and he was absolutely amazing, I would 100% recommend him to anyone!

He was such a huge part of the wedding, making sure the whole day ran smoothly and perfectly, checking up on both of us pre ceremony making sure we had everything we needed, helping settle the nerves to checking in with us all throughout the day, nothing was ever to much! Simon constantly brought the good vibes all day and night, all our guests have complimented what a great guy he is.

The dance floor was never empty and even when he was DJing he still would check in to make sure we had everything we needed. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better host and DJ and we’re soooo glad we booked him!

If you’re thinking of booking Simon for your wedding, DO IT! You won’t regret it!!

Thank you so much for being a part of our day and making it so special and unforgettable!

Angel from above!

Simon! The man the myth the ledgend! Literally!
One of our friends reccomended Simon as we were planning our wedding… we looked into him and were completely sold on reading his website and his intro email and skimming through his 100s of reviews! He was our kind of guy to conduct our wedding day and to keep it upbeat with no lulls and that exactly what he did, he delivered a fun and fantastic day! From the WhatsApp group, phone calls and my 101 questions to meeting in person to discuss our wedding day. Simon is a very personable guy he had our interests and personal request at the forefront he ensured the day ran smooth and was in control of IT ALL! To be honest the day ran so smoothly (to my knowledge) it was perfect! Probably because Simon was managing the whole party 🤣 he suggested changes to our day so it was more perfect than we planned and we trusted him with the experience he has. The playlist! the DJ!-UNREAL! i didn’t give him many songs to play I told him play whatever and my god that dance floor was full all night long I danced the night away even my husband was dancing and I have never seen him dance in my whole life that is saying something !! 🤣 without Simon it would not have been what it was he is a angel from above! He calmed the nerves for my husband, made every guest feel special and involved - little or old! my son thought he was great! Got him involved djing and offered my nan to dance 🥰 like he was part of the family. This guy is worth every penny l,we loved Simon so much and had such a laugh! If you want the best wedding ever please choose Simon you will not regret it!!Top top bloke 🫶🏻 we hope we experience a wedding wlth Simon because it was a day to remember!
lots of love, the Atkinsons! 26.6.25 Lodore falls 👰🏽‍♀️🤵🏽

Amazing host and DJ

We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better host and DJ for our wedding! As soon as we first booked Simon he went above and beyond to give us advice and ideas, he popped in before the ceremony to help calm my nerves and he even went on a little mint hunt for me🤣
He was constantly checking in with us to make sure we were happy and stress free. He coordinated everything so smoothly, from the ceremony, cocktail hour, confetti toss, our entrance as Mr & Mrs, cake cutting, bouquet toss, first dance and of course the party!
The energy he brought was honestly such a vibe! He’s fun and energetic but also professional. We’ve had so many guests messaging us to say how fab he was and how smoothly the day ran. So many said how it didn’t feel like the usual stop-start wedding day — everything just flowed, and that’s 100% down to his amazing coordination and presence. If you’re thinking about booking him, do it!!!

Thank you so much for being a huge part of our day Simon! 💖

Amazing wedding host & DJ, highly recommend!

Simon was our wedding host & DJ for our wedding in June and we honestly couldn’t recommend him enough!

He helped the day run so smoothly and nothing was too much for him. He helped calm my husbands nerves before the ceremony and then again before the speeches. His energy is top level and he brought class vibes all day! Everyone commented on how amazing he was throughout the whole day and he had everyone on the dance floor all night!

10/10, would highly recommend, our wedding wouldn’t have been the same without him!! Thank you so much for being a big part of our day Simon ❤️

Wedding Host/DJ

This guy is absolutely brilliant!!! Where do we even begin?!

From the moment we met Simon at a wedding fayre we instantly knew he was the guy for us! We needed him to be part of our day. Bubbly, funny and so personable. The best decision we made was booking him!

Simon kept in contact with us via What’sApp and was there for us throughout our planning, helping guide us and give advice but also listen to our ideas to create the perfect day.

Looking back now I couldn’t imagine the day without him! Not only did his big personality help put all our guests at ease throughout the day but his energy was infectious. Simon ensured that everything ran smoothly throughout the day from start to finish. He made sure that everything was perfect behind the scenes and nothing was ever too much trouble. He was an unbelievable host. All our guests have commented how awesome he was!

In the evening Simon was our DJ and boy did he deliver! I don’t think I’ve danced so much in my life. He kept the dance floor lively with some absolute bangers. With his expertise he was able to read the room and catered for all ages.

We highly recommend Simon if you want a mega wedding!!! Thank you for being a part of our day and making it so special.

Love Mr & Mrs Brown
